Trv In he rnoil filends vrlth both men.
my dear, for you do not love either one
at present. If you loved one of them
you would not question which to marry.
And you would make a. sad mistake to
marry If you have not a strong love for
th man with whom you arc t.o spend
the rest of your life.
Perhaps something vv 11 happen to
how jou that jou care for one of these
two men sufficiently to marry him. but
in the meantime (unless you really do
care) do nothing to encourage either
unduly, but be good friend) and wait
for the right man and the right time.
Both will surely come.
Too Young to Court
Dear Cjnthla I am a jouim fellow of

Titv: uucibun onp,
I think I would call myself undecided
Instead of decided, don't you? Now for
A' little sermon, my young friend. If you
have read these columns befoic you will
remember perhaps what we have said on
the subject of "keeping company." J,t Is
never to be condoned. It Is always a
mistake whether one r Is seventeen or
eeventy-seven v
Be good friends with this girl and
with other girls and If you love her and
be loves you become engaged to her,
with the understanding that you will be
married when you are of age and have
enough to support her: but do not ask
her to promise to go only with ;ou,
nor make her a promise to go only with
her, unless jou positively do intend to
marry. It is not fair to either one and
keeps both from making other pleasant
and useful friendships.

DON'T throw this aside Impatiently,
saying, "Who ever heard of talking
about Christmas In October!" Talking
about tho holiday scaEon now is n cer
tain evidence of patriotism, for be It
known that nil shopkeepers are being
urged by the Government to do evtyj'
thlng possible to extend the Christmas
shopping period over the next three
months, nnd conservo labor and man
power. And so I say lo you If J'ou
have an automobile don't fall to stop
and see the attractive patriotic metnl
shields, piobably flvo Inches In length,
which can ho attached to the front of
the hood. They combine most engng-Iiir-Iv
the holiday spirit with patriotism,
for, surrounded by an enameled wreath
in rich greens, and merry reds, Is a
shield In ted, white and blue. The price
Is Jl.fiO, nnd tho pleasure this will give
will bo worth many times tho price.

crisp brown toast, rich golden coffee,
and orango marmalade whj- that's a
